The Evolv Shaman climbing shoe works its magic and heals the wounds caused by ill comfort and a lack of proper craftsmanship. Developed from the ground up by Chris Shaman, this Evolve men’s climbing shoe is ideal for hard sport climbing and steep terrain. The Shaman incorporates design elements that work synergistically to give the highest performance including the big toe "knuckle box" and "love bump" midsole that keep the big toe in a position of power to obtain maximum strength for edging and grabbing. Like a game of Chess, you will always have the advantage. The tensioned heel and arch rand eliminates dead space in the arch for secure heel hooks and transfers power to the toes; the multi pattern lining (leather forefoot liner for increased sensitivity and feel, cotton heel for non-stretch performance), give the best feel and function for demanding climbs.
